Chambres D'hotes keeps the Champagne experience close to the ground. In La Chapelle-Monthodon, in the Vallées de la Marne, it is a family-run guesthouse where the draw is not spectacle but direct access to the cellar, the vines and the people behind the bottles.
That family connection is what gives the stay its appeal. The hosts Marina and Vincent welcome guests to a house that has been in the family for two generations, and the experience includes cellar visits, explanations of the Champagne-making process and tastings on arrival.
It works especially well for those who want Champagne to feel personal rather than branded to death. Less gloss, more substance - and all the better for it. We love it!
